Police arrested two men after discovering a meth lab in Milford and another in Houston on Tuesday, the same day state police made a similar arrest in Houston.

Milford police arrested Lawrence Stockman, a 28-year-old Houston resident, after raiding a home in the 1900 block of Deep Grass Lane, where they discovered an active methamphetamine lab and ingredients used the in manufacturing of meth, according to department spokesman Detective Dwight Young.

Stockman is charged with manufacturing with intent to deliver methamphetamines and possession of drug paraphernalia. He also was wanted on multiple warrants issued by various courts, police said.

He is being held on a $5,000 secured bond.

It was not immediately clear whether Stockman's arrest was related to the arrest of 35-year-old Michael Cairo by state police the same day.

According to state police, Cairo was charged with similar crimes after troopers found a meth lab during a raid at a home in the same block on Deep Grass Lane, also on Tuesday.

Milford police said they made a second arrest later the same day after discovering another meth lab at a home in the 1000 block of S.E. Second Street.

Todd D. Culver, 44, is charged with manufacturing methamphetamines, possession with intent to deliver, possession of drug paraphernalia and driving on a suspended or revoked license.

Young said Culver's arrest followed a month-long investigation in which detectives learned Culver was dealing meth and using a motor vehicle to transport supplies.

Culver is being held at Sussex Correction Institute on a $12,000 secured bond. He also was wanted on multiple warrants issued by various courts, police said.
